Mr Davies had tied up his children and threatened to kill them after spending the day drinking before armed police were called to his home.

F7 told the hearing at Peterbough Town Hall: “I remember seeing the fifth bang and just a fraction of a second afterwards, almost at the same time, I then heard another bang and to my knowledge it came from one of the other officers.

He said that “a silence fell, a very eerie silence,” before officer N6 called out.

According to F7 it was then that firearms officer I7 shouted back, confirming: “It was me."

Officer N6 also gave evidence. He was the first on the scene alongside F7.

N6 told assistant coroner Nicholas Moss: “The first thing I said was that we were armed police officers.

"For a few seconds there was no response then Mr Davies re-emerged at the window as we went past.

“He was partly hanging out that window and had the lights on behind him so he was fairly silhouetted.
